An integrated manufacturing system for rapid tooling based on rapid prototyping
To reduce the time and cost of moulds fabrication, a novel integrated developing and manufacturing system of rapid tooling (RT) based on rapid prototyping (RP) is proposed. The architecture of system which consists of four building blocks: digital prototype, virtual prototype (VP), physical prototype and RT system, is presented. A digital prototype can be established by 3D CAD software packages...
متن کاملGenerative Manufacturing of Ceramic Parts “Vision Rapid Prototyping”
Introduction When Generative Manufacturing Processes had been introduced to the market in the early 1990s they were called Rapid Prototyping Processes. In the following 15 years they became an important tool especially for the product development of injection molded plastic parts. Based on improved materials and machines, today even final plastic parts can be manufactured (Rapid Manufacturing)....

The paper presents integrative model-based approach in application of virtual engineering technologies in rapid product and process design and manufacturing. This has resulted in integration of so called CAtechnologies and Virtual Reality in product design and FE numerical simulations and optimization of production processes, as digital prototyping of product and processes, from one side, and r...
متن کاملThe rapid tooling testbed: a distributed design-for- manufacturing system
A new design-for-manufacturing method, called the geometric tailoring (GT), and the associated digital interface concept have been developed that enable the design activities to be separated from the manufacturing activities. Conditions for the successful application of this method are investigated. The GT method is demonstrated for rapid prototyping and rapid tooling technologies, where protot...
